(Thanks for the reply Heidfirst)

Here's my HD Tach Graph (click-through for full-sized view)

numbers looks good
just to make sure can you check the drive? look for jumpers and scan over the manual, see if they require jumpers on there for sata2 support. i know with seagate to get higher numbers you have to removed the jumper, since it limits the hd to sata I. if you see benches it does make a difference.

Numbers look perfectly normal for that drive.....looks just like my numbers for my eSATA WD 500GB

[WasabiX]

It's a Cavalry 500GB with no jumpers but you guys are in agreement that this is about the best performance I should expect from it so that works for me. Thanks for the assist. I'll be curious to see how those numbers look once I have the 15k 2.5 SAS drives up and running with a good quality hardware accelerated raid controller.

[joshuaboston]

so perhaps I just jumped on the Ballistix bandwagon a bit too late...

Are you talking about Crucial Ballitix or Crucial Ballitix Tracer? I think the Tracer's are considered on level up from regular ballitix. Thats what I have and I was doing 1140DDR2 stable but now I am doing ddr2975 at 1:1.2 at 3.618Ghz. But that is with 2 x 1gig, I just recieved my new RAM a few days ago, I was going to install it when I upgrade to Vista64 and I will do that in about two weeks. I hope I don't have any problems.

[joshuaboston]

Completely different question...
I have the latest Uguru program and when I change any of the "mode select" my computer freezes. I am pretty sure I have allowed all fans in the bios.

Any ideas?

[Ace-a-Rue]

what OS and bit?

[joshuaboston]

what OS and bit?

I think you are talking to me. OS... XP Pro
bit???

I did not think to much about it. It once worked.. like my first two day that I had the mobo. I am soon going to Vista 64 and was about to trouble shoot that problem then. But if anyone has experenced the same problem, maybe they could tell me the cure...

He means 32-bit or 64-bit i.e. xp 32-bit or 64-bit or vista 32,64

I have Abit IP35 PRO Mobob and EVGA 8800GT 512MB SC

at first it wasn't working right it would boot to windows but then lose signal within 5-10 minutes

i went to bios I saw it was set a PCI-E 1.0a

there was 2 options 1.0 and 1.0a

I put it to 1.0 and all seems great now.

My question is, i thought i would at leas have pci-e 1.1 with this relatively new mobo

and does being pci- 1.0 degrade my performance? or no because the card doesent max out the bandwidth?
so what is my mobo using 1.0 yes right

so i dont even have 1.1?

i thought p35 was 2.0 also

well just let me know if my performance will beless or i dnt even come close 2 using up the bandwidth

pcie 2.0 was not finallized at the time p35 came out. that is why intel/nv/ati,amd are making a big deal about it. honastly dunno why but that card should work fine at 1.0A ...

[BTK]

well it's not it fine @ 1.0

so my question

do i get a performance hit for being 1.0 and not 1.0a or it dont matter because I wil never max out 1.0 bandwidth

your question is a bit hard to answer... since its just a spec addin more amps to supply the video card. in the case of 1.1 it was suppose to add a 24x pci to the spec. in this case no it wont hinder the card but if by having to choose 1.0 in the bios for it to work lowers the speed of the slot. the actually speed the slot is running at ie 4x/8x/16x,is what you need to be worried about.

[BTK]

Well if that's the case. I am sure it's @ x16 link width.

afaik Tracers are just regular Ballistix with LEDS - I've never seen anybody claim that they are binned differently.

Oh... I thought they were binned differently. I read some reviews and it seemed that the Tracers were a bit more overclockable, but I think you are probably right and maybe it is the luck of the draW.

I also thought they had micron D chips on the memory.

I am running XP Pro 32bit right now.

lol got my RMA today, they sent me an AB-9 board instead of an ip35pro.

[gsan]

thinking to get IP35-Pro soon but I'm concern about the vdroop on the mobo. maybe someone can provide the below info? thanks.

vcore
bios set | bios reading (idle;load) | uguru reading (ilde; load) | DMM reading (ilde; load)

vdimm
bios set | bios reading (idle;load) | uguru reading (ilde; load) | DMM reading (ilde; load)

If you are handy with a soldering iron, you can fix the vdroop Here is the link to johnny bravos fix

oh man!...what is that abit person thinking! STUPID!

[strange|ife]

ya pretty dumb, i think its only one guy in the RMA his name is dennis, and he isnt fond of answering the line either...

That's pretty much any mobo MFG though, lol.
I think the 'biggest' RMA department I've worked with yet was 3 (at SuperMicro, for God's sake).

[emuexport]

Well i finally got around to getting my Q6600 for my IP35-Pro.

I put my Reaper-X 6400s (2x2048) in and i noticed that you cant fit 4 of them on the IP35-pro. The DIMMS are just too fat!!

Just in the middle of formatting my drives before installing XP then Vista. Will let you know how it goes!

I only have a 6600GT atm till the GTSs G92 come out!

[BTK]

my E6750 seems to need around 1.47 Vcore to be stable. This is about 1.52 vcore set in bios

is this normal?

I dont have an E6750 and i dont know what speed you are running at so i cant say, but my Q6600 needs 1.47 to be stable at 3.4

[ea6gka]

ok dudes two problems here , first uguru crashes randomly in vista x64 and it cannot recognize my usb bluetooth device , it is listed as unknown.

bios 14 with a quad and 4 gigs of ram are the specs
